Never read it or seen the screenplay but heard of it (him) a ****load of times. I thought it was very well known.

Yeah, it sold a few copies.

 

[Commachio]

Yeah he's written 2 novels.

that's nice.

 

[luvgonzo]

that's nice.

Very.

 

[Hoddle is a god]

It's one of those books that give both sides off the story.

It's about a food journo that falls in love with a go go dancer in Bangkok.


He tells his side of the story, and how he's falling in love.
Next bit she tells hers and how she is ****ing him over, etc.

It's a must read for anyone ever thinking about going to Thailand.

Even my dad has read it, i think he secrectly enjoyed it, as there is lots of porny bits in it, with Joy (the go go dancer) teaming up with a mate, to get the daft foreigner to shoot his muck as quick as possible so they can go and eat.

Is it a story about Skiddy?

So a romance then? Nice.

Reading And The Ass Saw The Angel by Nick Cave.

Any good?

 

[luvgonzo]

Any good?

Yeah very impressed, I'm a fan of Nick Cave so thought I'd give it a go but it's honestly a very good book.

The accidental Time machine, by Joe Haldeman.

It was rather good I thought.

I have just finished reading ‘The Sorrow Of War’ by Bao Ninh.

One of the best books I’ve ever read. I’m not normally moved by reading but this got to me. It’s about a soldier who was collecting bodies after the Vietnam war and him wrestling with his conscience and reminiscing about the purpose of war. It’s not glamorised like most war books, it’s laid bare and very thought provoking.

American Pastoral by Phillip Roth for me. Been reading it a while and got distracted but will finish while on holiday.

Breakfast at Tiffany's after that.

 

[luvgonzo]

I get pelters on page 1 of this thread.

 

[Chief]

I read quite a bit.

As discussed with Chief, Don Winslow is a current favourite.

Good old NSIS.

Which reminds me, I have to buy Don Winslow's last ever book for my holiday next week.

City in Ruins, the last of a trilogy.

Will add that to my list.

Read The Midnight Library recently after a recommendation. Very interesting concept.
